    'subtree rooted at the base directory', the *base* directory is
    selected by an option in the file.c source (near top). This *base*
    directory is then treated by the MOO as a kind of 'root', -ie it can not
    move back up the directory tree... and yes, the base directory could be
    the OS' idea of root if you so desired.
